I'm sure it must have happened some time in the past 20 years but I don't recall it. Hell, it's rare that we even get consecutive years in the same week.

But OUR fanatics are "good christian americans".  Only fanatics from other religions are evil.  Which is why our fanatics now want to be called "evangelical christians" rather than "christian fundamentalists" because the latter sounds too much like "islamic fundamentalists".

Urth - glad you're feeling better.

Re: fundie Christians: indeed.  I'm utterly fatigued at the notion that Americans, particular Christian Americans, can do no wrong and that to suggest otherwise is somehow unpatriotic or even treasonous.

Don't recognize this "power and the passion" song.  Sounds like Midnight Oil, were they around then?

Agreed and agreed. Tho' the Capaldi was nice. But where's the funk?

Oh, the Pitney/Almond duet was '89, BTW

And to think our jr. high band was going to play that at some point.  I think we rehearsed it a few times but an un-pretty song not translated well played by junior high musicians... well it was bound to be a train wreck, and our director thankfully threw it out.  And I think literally too  :)

"I'll Tumble 4 Ya" would be a pleasant surprise.  Dave's Culture Club repertoire is limited to "Karma Chameleon" and "Church of the Poison Mind," I think.

The other two would be great to hear more often, though I *think* both were '82.  And certainly I've never heard "What About Me" here.  Good calls, all.

Amazingly, Dave's never played "I'm Still Standing", and the other 3 have made maybe made one appearance each in the 12 years I've been listening.

I gotta agree with you. His albums through the 70s were great, but he seemed to lose something post-Running On Empty that he only regained in part and for a short time on his Lives in the Balance (the overtly political stuff Mike made reference to) from which I believe we heard a track last week. But since that time I can't say I've heard anything new of his that even remotely stands up. (And the Hold Out album, which directly followed Running on Empty, is TERRIBLE--shows the negative effect cocaine can have on an artist, I think.

On that we do agree.  It seemed such a lame attempt to write a bunch of songs that sounded like his previous "hits". I assumed it was record company pressure at the time; I didn't realize it was his coke period.

I don't think it was the beginning of that period by any stretch. If you listen to Running On Empty, there are many veiled and not-so-veiled references to cocaine (hell, there's a song called Cocaine on there), but I think it began to affect his creative talents most profoundly after that album was recorded and continued to do so for a good while. He still had hits (Hold Out had several, and Somebody's Baby from Fast Times... was huge) but they weren't of the quality he'd produced in the early to mid-70s.
